TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have extensive experience working privately with students who struggle learning to read.
I also taught my son to read when he was 4 and struggling with fine motor skills delay, sensory processing disorder, a speech delay, ADHD, and mild Asperger's . . . honey, after that? I can do anything.
If you have any questions, please email me at jenstrange AT gmail DOT com

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe that children learn the most through movement, sensory input, and emotionally relevant experiences.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have a Master's of Education with a Literacy Specialist emphasis!
